Canada’s new cabinet met for the first time this morning. One of our first orders of business: a tax cut for the middle class. Starting July 1, hard-working Canadians will keep more of their paycheques.

A lot of the discussion about Vancouver's housing crisis is shortsighted. The primary cause of today's crisis is the collapse in housing production in the 1970s. Gregor was just the one holding the hand grenade when the accumulated shortage reached catastrophic proportions.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

New from @woodsideful.bsky.social and I for @nationalobserver.com. The Conservative platform committed to doubling oil production and greenlighting a proposed LNG facility in NL. Meanwhile, 33 exploration licenses for the Atlantic offshore will be made available this year.

Poilievre just wrapped his final press conference of the campaign, in Saskatoon. I went to more of these (13) than any other journalist in Canada, for @nationalobserver.com. Didn’t get a single question. Which meant not one person asked PP about climate policy outside of the debates.

Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and now the United States. Autocrats always go after judges first because judges are the last line of defense for rule of law and due process. We cannot let this stand. Protect judges and constitutional judicial independence.

The night of the English-language election debate in Montreal was not Canadian journalism’s finest night. There were heated arguments in the press room, an attempt to crash a CBC broadcast, a line of police officers to ensure journalists could do their jobs and a cancelled post-debate scrum.

Every Canadian should listen to this. The media are the voice of the people. And politicians must be held accountable. Politicians that run and hide from media should not be trusted. Ever. pca.st/episode/e8c8...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Every day. Don’t stop reminding Canadians of this. Don’t let the media stop challenging Poilievre on this. Never let up. It’s too important. Especially now. Canada’s sovereignty and economy are under attack by the exact same people that want Poilievre to win. Every day. Don’t stop.

Okay look. We do not want a Liberal minority, it needs to be a majority. Why? Hear me out. Because advertising spending is limitless in minority governments, this is what has allowed Three Word Pierre to pollute the discourse with sloganeering. #canadapoli #cdnpoli #election #cpc #lpc #canada

One thing about "compromising" with Republicans is that there is no room for agreement. It's not like this is part of a larger effort to remove toxins from drinking water; the GOP is working overtime to make our water dirtier. How do you "compromise" with bad people who only want to do harm?

Pierre Poilievre is trailing in the polls, but he's getting absolutely lapped by Mark Carney among women voters. His recent comments about biological clocks are just the latest example of why. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/02/o...

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

One reason the news isn't getting out is because our university leaders have completely failed to engage in the public square with loud, unified, collective statements explaining to the public how the NSF/NIH/budget cuts are an existential threat to higher education & scientific research in 🇺🇸

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”
